When the scent of butter and sugar fills the house, I wrap the cookies in a clean cloth and carry them next door. The smile that greets me — the one that reaches his eyes — feels like a silent conversation between old friends.

B Just minutes after Tina and Mike McCasland met their newborn son, they were told that their baby boy, Cody, was born prematurely with a rare birth condition. He wasn’t breathing on his own, and his legs had formed without tibias or knees. But not only did the tough little boy survive his first day of life, but he also eventually got to go home with his parents. He grew stronger in the following months and made it through a double leg amputation (截肢) at just over a year old. Tina and Mike celebrated another milestone when Cody began walking with his first prosthesis (假肢) after his physical therapy. Since then, Cody has continued to amaze everyone around him. He faces every challenge with a bright, happy smile, and doesn’t seem to know what the word “can’t” means. In fact, from a young age, he took up racing—thanks to the incredible help and generosity of a local children’s hospital, which provided him with expensive prosthetics, at no cost to his family. But Cody has always been one to give back. He acts as a spokesman for the hospital by sharing his story and even visits injured service members in the hospital to give them renewed hope and a more positive outlook regarding their futures. The little boy has been making headlines since he was six, even appearing on some chat shows, sharing his love of running, swimming, handcycling, and talking to as many people as he can. “Cody has really done everything that they said he wouldn’t do,” Mike said. “He wasn’t supposed to be able to walk; well, he walks—he runs. He wasn’t supposed to be able to talk as he had only one vocal chord; yet, he just goes on forever.” At almost 18 years old, Cody continued to beat the odds while his dreams reached even further. He competed in various athletic events around the country and hoped to swim in the Paralympics. And, after more than two dozen surgeries in his life, he wanted to become an anesthesiologist. “I want to work at the hospital, in the operating room,” he explained. “I want to help people feel better.” “Some people might say I have a disability,” Cody said. “But really, I have an ability.” 24. Shortly after Cody was born, he ________. A. had to stay in hospital for leg amputation B. received immediate physical therapy C. was found physically disabled D. was given a lung test at once 25. How does Cody repay the hospital’s generous help? A. By empowering patients with a positive spirit. B. By appearing on TV to share his love for sports. C. By providing advice to injured service members. D. By raising funds for other patients at the hospital. 26. Approaching 18 years old, Cody ________. A. was famous for competing in the Paralympics B. became a doctor despite facing many challenges C. started his racing career after appearing on chat shows D. competed as an athlete in different events across the country 27. According to the passage, which words can best describe Cody? A. Modest and sympathetic. B. Caring and strong-willed. C. Grateful and cooperative. D. Intelligent and warm-hearted. C I’ve always been unwilling to be pressed into bench-pressing. Lifting weights, unlike aerobic (有氧的) exercise, seemed the province of serious athletes looking to improve performance or men seeking to build significant muscle mass. Instead, I walk several miles every day and do yoga regularly. Although research into resistance training is still catching up to that on aerobic exercise, there’s growing evidence that muscle-strengthening routines provide a host of physical and cognitive advantages, some of which can’t be achieved through aerobic workouts alone. All exercise is a form of physical stress. Done correctly, it creates better fitness by making the body adapt to that stress and become stronger. Like aerobic exercise, resistance training increases heart rate and makes the lungs work more to keep the additional blood flow filled with oxygen. In 2022, an analysis of several studies found that muscle-strengthening exercises were associated with a 10 to 17 percent lower risk of all-cause mortality than those who didn’t. And the same year, exercise scientist Gorzelitz and her colleagues used data on nearly 100,000 older Americans to show that those who did both aerobic and resistance training had the lowest risk of death in the entire group. Weightlifting, by itself, also reduced the risk of death from all causes as well as from cardiovascular disease specifically. These activities keep us healthier as we live our lives. We lose 3 to 8 percent of our muscle mass every decade after the age of 30 and more after age 60. But muscle strengthening allows us to push back against the aging process and build lean body mass. Resistance training also builds better bones — muscles pull on bones, and in response, bones add new cells and get stronger, increasing bone mineral density. Some of the resistance to resistance training is because it is more complex than aerobic exercise. With aerobic activities, a step is a step, whether you walk, run or hike, and those steps are easily tracked. “But resistance training includes far more variables”, says physiologist William Kraemer. People need to choose which parts of the body to work and in what order, which equipment to use, what intensity to work at, and how often to rest. Any form of resistance training will do — pulling on strong elastic bands, push-ups, free weights or weight machines — so long as it puts strain on your muscles. Experts advise that people start small so as not to get hurt. AIM for the recommended minimum of two sessions per week, although for some people more frequent, shorter sessions might be more sustainable. It’s important to increase weight and intensity over time, a concept known as progressive resistance. “If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, no adaptations occur,” Kraemer says. 28. The author mentions his unwillingness to do bench-pressing to ________ A. introduce a topic B. give a suggestion C. highlight a problem D. evaluate a statement 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Exercise creates better fitness by avoiding physical stress. B. Resistance training outweighs aerobic exercise in delaying aging. C. Managing weight can be achieved mainly by building better bones. D. Resistance training paired with aerobic exercise produces better health outcomes. 30. It is implied in this passage that we should ________ A. avoid complex exercise routines due to their potential for injury B. adapt our exercise routines to our personal condition and progress C. follow a fixed and simple exercise routine to achieve expected effects D. prioritize more frequent and shorter sessions to build a sustainable routine 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Underrated Benefits of Resistance Training B. Weightlifting: Overlooked or Overvalued? C. Resistance Training: Complex or Simple? D. The Unlocked Mystery of Weightlifting D Space is, for the most part, a vast, impersonal vacuum. But the part of it that includes our small region of the universe is a human-influenced environment upon which society depends. In a series of discussions over the past year, we have examined how we on Earth are more easily affected by cosmic phenomena than ever before, how humans are changing the orbital ecosystem— and how the world needs to respond. Space dangers have always threatened this planet, even if those living here were not aware of them. Some smaller asteroids (小行星) are in some ways more threatening. Scientists have started launching space-based telescopes to track dangerous asteroids and testing methods to steer asteroids away from Earth. Other space-based dangers emerged as people became more dependent on electronics vulnerable to space weather— releases of radiation and magnetized particles from the sun that can frazzle power systems, satellites, radios, GPS devices and other crucial modern-day infrastructure. Scientists can predict space weather, giving people hours or even days of warning to strengthen infrastructure. Then there are the problems humans are creating themselves. Junk that we’ve put into orbit surrounds the planet, and the number of things up there is rising rapidly. Even tiny pieces of debris can harm satellites that provide critical services on Earth’s surface— and, in the process, possibly create yet more debris that could threaten other objects in orbit. Also dramatic, but something everyone can help address, is light pollution. Humans are making the sky brighter from below, through the use of increasingly intense lighting, and from above, via satellites and space debris reflecting sunlight back to Earth. One study found that humans have made the sky 10 percent brighter per year over the past decade. “Skyglow” disrupts people’s circadian rhythms and harms their sleep and their mental and physical health. Government should fund planetary defenses against asteroids and space weather. These systems can include space-based observatories to map asteroids and study the sun, tests of asteroid-moving techniques, and hardened electronic infrastructure resistant to solar ejections. Furthermore, countries and companies that exploit space must commit to reducing pollution. As humans struggle to preserve the ground we walk on or the air we breathe, governments all over the world also need to take care of the zone far above our heads. Those who spend their lives studying space increasingly understand the urgency— and what to do about it. Acting, however, is often the hardest part. 32. What does the word “fizzle” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Maintain. B. Improve. C. Regulate. D. Damage. 33. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The possible ways to reduce light pollution. B. The scientific measurements of sky brightness. C. The primary causes and effects of light pollution. D. The effects of artificial light on human mental and physical health. 34. As for protecting space environment, the author is ________ A. curious B. concerned C. optimistic D. surprised 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As the world changes in the digital age, so does the role of our public libraries ____35____ They are transforming into community hubs that foster learning, creativity, and social interaction.

Trees play a major role in the global effort to slow the pace of climate change, preserve wildlife, and support people. Yet deforestation continues, threatening these goals. Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land, leading to permanent land-use change. Most deforestation — permanent forest loss — is driven by farming, grazing of livestock, mining, drilling, and settlements, according to research from the World Resources Institute (WRI). Deforestation occurs all over the world, with Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa showing the largest amounts of permanent forest loss through agriculture. The conversion of forests for farming and ranching is the main driver of deforestation globally. Mining, infrastructure development, and settlement also contribute. Forests are also cut as a result of urban sprawl, as land is developed for homes. In 2022, the Amazon saw record rates of deforestation, with an estimated 1.98 million hectares of forest cleared. According to a report, Colombia lost 113,608 hectares of forest in 2024, a 43 percent increase compared to the year before. Deforestation directly threatens the survival of countless land species by destroying their habitats. It is also a key cause of soil erosion, which in turn degrades land, blocks waterways, contributes to flooding, and reduces agricultural productivity. The effects of deforestation extend far beyond the immediate area where the trees are cut down. We need trees for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that they absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale and the heat-trapping greenhouse gases produced by human activity. As those gases enter the atmosphere, they accelerate climate change. In response, conservationists have taken action. However, the situation remains serious. A movement is underway to fight illegal mining and logging, preserve existing forests, and restore lost ecosystems through replanting and rewilding. We hope that through these combined efforts, we can save more forests and also reduce the environmental problems that come with deforestation. 40. According to the passage, what is “deforestation”? ______________________________________________________________________ 41. What are two direct consequences of deforestation mentioned in the text? ______________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➢In order to fight climate change and protect forests, conservationists have taken action and have greatly improved the situation. ______________________________________________________________________ 43.
